10 best games of second half

Halfway through the NFL season, and we have already watched several thrilling games. Denver-Dallas, New England-New Orleans, and Detroit-Dallas already made us yell, “Are you kidding me?” more times than we could count.

We still have an entire second half of the season to enjoy. Here are the biggest games that are most likely to make us yell, “Are you kidding me?” again.

Week 10: DAL @ NO — Dallas has a penchant for taking good teams to the brink. Can they finally get a clutch win against New Orleans?

Week 11: KC @ DEN — Is Kansas City for real? This game between long-time AFC West rivals will tell. Manning vs. the KC defense is reason enough to tune in.

Week 11: SF @ NO — Drew Brees is quietly playing the best football of his career, and he will be on display against the 49ers in a key NFC game.

Week 12: DEN @ NWE — Manning vs. Brady. Considering the age of both men, it could be the last time this happens.

Week 13: NO @ SEA — Brees will be sacked often, but can he still put up big numbers?

Week 14: IND @ CIN— In a match-up of two exciting quarterbacks named Andrew, it’s also a possible AFC playoff preview.

Week 14: SEA @ SF — Speaking of playoff match-ups, this game could decide the NFC West and tell us what the NFC Championship will be like.

Week 14: DAL @ CHI –This game will be key to the Cowboys winning the NFC East, and Chicago should be back at full strength. Bonus: It’s the night the Bears will retire former Bears coach and player and former Cowboy Mike Ditka’s number,

Week 16: IND @ KC — Home field advantage, the NFC East and perhaps a wild card spot could be on the line in this late match-up with the Chiefs defense closing in on Andrew Luck.

*Yes, week 9 and week 15 are not represented. It happens every year. Games scheduled in April look like winners but turn out to stink because of one team’s swan dive. Weeks 9 and 15 are full of those. Thanks, Atlanta. Week 17 is almost all divisional match-ups which don’t look great now, but will decide playoff spots.
